The actual numbers prove you wrong. People moving to TX are not doing so to take low paying jobs with no insurance. There are 52 Fortune 500 Companies now headquartered in this state and none of them are low paying jobs. You need to do better research and stop buying leftwing bs
Since we don't give away the state our Cost of living is a lot cheaper here
Its always fun to watch you struggle and cajole with the facts. Shuffle and spin rather than try to attempt to deal with the fact that the only state with as many people working for minimum wage as Texas is Mississippi. Wow...that must make you very uncomfortable Con....
Here is the truth about the Texas economy:

LOL....Texas doesn't give away the state? Why are they one of the top 9 states in the amount of corporate welfare they hand out? Why does Texas consistently rank in the bottom on education spending and healthcare? The answer is contrary to your claims con.

LOL, yep, those dumbass Californians that continue to move here to take low paying jobs and not have insurance. Apparently then never learned that state law supports taking care of all their citizens by having the taxpayers fund all those liberal social programs. Interest that California leads the nation in poverty so I guess the real dumb people are the ones that remain.
Again, another topic you know nothing about. What is corporate welfare in TX? How about allowing businesses to keep more of what they earn? Any idea what they do with that money or what the workers who hold those jobs do with theirs? Didn't think so which is what California is an economic disaster. Do they teach economics in California?
I don't see many Californians packing up to move to the armpit of the country called Texas. I think thats just another of your pipedreams Conservative. But be careful what you ask for. It Californians truly do move there...they will speed up the shift of Texas to a blue state...and good luck winning national elections when that happens.
Actually California has rebounded quite well now that we have a Democratic Governor.

Yes, most people don't look past their bellies and undermine the whole process by readily allowing themselves to be exploited.
Thank you very much for thinking I was unfamiliar with the proper usage of the word terrorize. As a Union hack who refers to temporary workers a vile scabs, I'm sure you're quite familiar with its proper usage.
Yet, let's not kid ourselves, the only reason card check is used is to remove the privacy an election provides. As you no doubt know, pro-union forces are very interested in learning who is standing in the way of their objective.
Sorry, but I've been one of those people on the other side of the table listening to the rhetoric. Thankfully, my employees understood what they would be giving up should a union organizing attempt be successful. As such, the unions scare tactics were never successful. And my employees were the ones who decided that.
No. Employment is a mutual agreement on the terms of that employment. If I offer you less than you feel you are worth, then you are free to go work elsewhere. That is how a free people interact within a free society. But I get that many people--including you, probably--aren't all that interested in a free, rights respecting society."Only business owners should have a say in what is fair for the workers they employ."
Or.. In this case.. They chased a company away that was ready to pay good wages and good benefits all because that company didn't want a stacked deck, card check election. Instead, leaving people with a empty belly rather than a belly that could have been full with a good job. Again.. Those unions sure aren't the brightest.
They are using California’s environmental laws as a pretense to put leverage on the company to get what they want,” Kinkisharyo spokesman Coby King told FoxNews.com. “It’s unfortunate when groups that don’t care about the well-being of the environment use the laws to delay, and even kill, good business development.”
The job is worth what someone is willing to do it for. As for this specific company, they werne't even against the union.. They were against the stacked deck of a card check election and they claim they pay a decent salary and haven't had employment issues in the past. So.. Maybe not so much.

1) You're reading like a regurgitated talking point.
2) Card check is a simple majority rules vote, the same as any other union vote with the exception of skipping the formality of a secret ballot. It's not different math, it's not different voters. It's just public. There's nothing stacked about public voting, our congress does it on every bill. If it's good enough for congress, it's probably good enough for the rest of us.

A) It's not different. Employees vote, majority rules, it's just public.Then the unions should be happy to allow the vote go through without it.. But, they won't because it is different.
Doesn't change the facts still:
Texas had the most minimum-wage workers last year, accounting for nearly 13 percent of all such workers across the country, according to data released Tuesday by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Actually California has rebounded quite well now that we have a Democratic Governor.
A) It's not different. Employees vote, majority rules, it's just public.
B) The "union friendly" company should be happy to let the vote go through unless, as logic would dictate, they're not particularly union friendly.
Careful what you call Texas! It is not the armpit of the country
